FBI raids Balboa Ambulance in El Cajon

EL CAJON  Officials with the FBI and the U.S. Health and Human Services Department raided an ambulance business in El Cajon Tuesday.

The agents arrived at Balboa Ambulance on El Cajon Boulevard near North First Street about 6:30 a.m. and served a federal warrant, FBI Special Agent Darrell Foxworth said.

“The search warrant was in support of an ongoing criminal investigation,” Foxworth said.

Foxworth said the agents are expected to be at the business throughout the day collecting evidence.

He declined to elaborate further on the case because the search warrant has been sealed by a federal judge.

Foxworth said he did not expect that there would be any arrests made on Tuesday.

In 2012, Balboa Ambulance was one of 10 businesses in San Diego and Imperial counties that were fined after an I-9 audit. The Employment Eligibility Verification form is required to be used by an employer to verify an employee’s identity and their eligibility to work in the United states. The company was fined $50,000.
